Definition of andiron in English:

noun

In the fireplace are a pair of brass andirons and a fender, American or English, dating from the early nineteenth century.

Antique andirons and fireplace tools survive in some quantity, but hard use has often taken its toll and they may be more decorative than useful today.

The original kitchen fireplace remains, retaining its cast-iron cauldron and andirons, but it was refaced during the 1896 renovation with blue tiles purchased from Traitel Brothers, tile suppliers in New York City.
